Closed issue by ericonr on void-packages repository
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/29710
Description:
On a musl system, `xbps-query -p shlib-requires -Rs libintl` provides the list of packages that still depend on `libtintl` for some reason. Some of them hardcode usage of glibc'isms like `_nl_msg_cat_cntr`, but most don't, and we should be able to fix them to use musl's `gettext` impl. See #29240 for more details and an initial push.
musl doesn't protect programs from calling `gettex(NULL)`, which while undefined behavior per the Gettext manual, doesn't actually segfault there, so before pushing a package to not use `libintl`, please also verify that it does work cleanly with musl's gettext impl. We have a workaround patch for now (https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/edb478c1a4a0bd54d692c2296eedefb93ff885a7/srcpkgs/musl/patches/mo_lookup.patch), but I would like to remove it at some point - at least GIMP, as one of the crashing applications, has been fixed.
Furthermore, lots of templates have `--disable-nls` or similar (grepping for `-nls` might work well?) for all archs or only for musl, which is not an ideal state of affairs; ideally, we'd always have internationalization support enabled and working. So hunting down such packages and also fixing them would be nice.
